:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: , man, ive been waiting so long and now the CPU is dead......guess its time to ship back to intel.....

[[OC]_SR20DE]

!!!.. what happened?? :confused: was the CPU already dead when you tried to start it up? defective? tell us more

[funnyperson1]

i applied Artic Silver, plugged it in, then put the heatsink on, no go, just fans and leds....

Dang.. Thats weird..

Well.. You'll have to wait :/

Where did you buy it by the way?

[ol' man]

Does it beep? Are there jumper switches on the board itself? I thought my ST6 was dead until I moved a jumper to a certain position and also it may be your board. Fool around with it a little bit. Reset the cmos. There have been about a hundred times I though I killed my cpu and board on the past few years.

With my ST6 the first day it did the same thing. Not sure what was wrong with it but it wouldn;t boot with my agp card in it.

I had to put a PCI video card into one of the pci slots at the same time as the AGP card and then it fired up and booted all the way. Do you have another fcpga chip to try in the board? There are many thing that could be causing this problem. It could be incompatible ram. Or maybe you have a bad ram slot. I think without ram the system won't even boot. Try different slots. I wouldn't call it a day yet. Where is the chip made that you have?

Keep talking man, I want to know how well these BD133u's work!

Maybe the board is trying to boot at 133fsb with too low of a vcore. My TUSL-2 booted right up at 1.475v while the fsb was set at 133. None the less it wouldn't go. I had to manually set the fsb on the board to get into the bios and do some changing. Se ewhat I am saying? New boards expect all PIII's now top be on a 133 bus and sometime can't figure it out with out intervention.

there are only like 3 jumpers on the whole board, my dad and i read the whole manual, swapped ram, tried 4 different video cards, cleared CMOS, took the battery out, then we finally gave up and took it to our local store where they plugged a Celly 700 in, and the BD133U is alive (thank goodness), but i will rma the chip back to Intel as i have done nothing to void the warranty.....

[[EXC]DDan]

maybe you accidently bend a pin on the bottom of your cpu?
i did that once with my cellie 500, bended it back and it worked fine :)

I doubt it, I think it is just the chip being DOA itself.

Shouldn't you rma it back to the company you bought it from????? Also did they try the cpu in a different board????

[Yodums]

That's what I was thinking.. That why would you RMA'd from Intel, you bought it directly from them?

[funnyperson1]

well, seeing as it came unopened in an intel retail box, i figured intel would ship it back to me faster and have bettter service from experiences i have heard about with intel's rma department....also if a pin was bent it wouldnt fit in the socket....i bought it from www.googlegear.com and with their resellerrating of like 3.8 i dont want to have to risk them not sending one back to me......the local retailer just checked it out, he didnt have any tualatins to check with teh board, but another cpu did boot up.....

[ol' man]

Well dude you never answered me if it was a malaysia chip or not. That won't have any affect on if it booted or not. I got mine from googlegear too and it is a malaysian chip. Hopefully they send you back a Phillipine chip. Good luck, I persoanlly would have liked to have known if it worked in a another fcoga2 board with all the buggyness I have been hearing about these fcpga2 boards. I have had plenty of my own problems with these boards. I almost rma'd my st6 until that night I figured I would try one last thing. And blamo that worked. I wonder what Intel will do if the chip works?
